Hello,
First year for PAX for me. I got my 3-day pass already registered, and hope to make all 3 days. Anyways straight to the point, I might need/want to bring my 3 year old with me one day. Will I need to buy her a badge or is there a age that they get in free?
thanks for any help

as to the original question i have no idea.
This is true. I totally heard that last year Mike and Jerry were walking down this hallway and were kind of annoyed by this lady that was holding a crying baby, so they totally took the baby and ate it right in front of her.
But seriously? What usually defines "family friendly" for me is the class of people at the event. Judging from previous years, everyone I've seen at PAX is friendly, cheerful, and fun to be around.
If your parenting kung-fu is such that you can successfully block exposure to the M-rated kiosks in the exhibition hall and the language regularly featured in the Penny-Arcade comic, a three year old would undoubtedly have a good time, what with all the blinking lights and explosion noises.
You know, video games.
Can't say whether you'd need an additional pass. Maybe you could hide your child under your shirt on the way in? You'd probably still look thinner than some of the more corpulent attendees.
That's a great idea!
Strap a laptop to your kid's back and enter the mod contest.
And don't forget the light-up sneakers.
okay, forget what i said before. light-up sneakers that squeak with each step.
I'll rape you then kill you. In your sleep. No, scratch that. I'll kill you BY raping you.
Thanks for the input and laughs.
I....
ah...
I don't think this is what you meant.
However, depending on her age, may be quite accurate.
That's my worry... I imagine a lot of tolerance for a kid, but not a lot of tolerance for a crying kid. PAX is an adult event, after all. If she starts howling, for the love of jebus, haul her outside and away from the lines. PAX traditionally has a lot of hangovers.
